    It was by far my worst year since I started in 2009 but I did have a nice win of £1000 holiday voucher from On the Beach. We added a couple of hundred pounds and had a lovely week all inclusive in Tenerife.



    Fingers crossed for a good 2017, wishing everyone lots of luck:)

    Very poor year - just two wins, but I have been really please with both - some lovely knitting needles that I wouldn't have treated myself to, so extra special. Also some children's fiction books - over £100 worth-all great titles and again something I couldn't have done.

    Not much to choose from but my best win was a 'treasure trove' of Rhodia notebooks and notepads (thee different size notepads, and three assorted notebooks). :D

    Not many to choose from to be honest, in terms of value it was probably the £100 worth of makeup from a mag daily but I ended up selling it as it wasn't the type of thing I'd have used, and I only made about £60 back from it. I won a £50 fuel voucher which was probably my most useful win, and not wishing to sound ungrateful but I genuinely haven't had one win this year that I was absolutely delighted with :-/

    Best win was a mini break to Torquay we're going to next August complete with train travel, the best suite at the Grand Hotel, meals, a spa day and spending money :)

    Most enjoyment is the 42" TV and blu-ray player I won for my parents just as their (way smaller) TV was dying.

    Oh and a special mention to the IPad Air I'm currently typing on!

    Mine was an iPad Mini 2, this year I only comped for about one month earlier in the year, then from mid Nov onwards, so very pleased with it!

    Sixth Anniversary I won, I won, I won!
    my best and favourite win was two tickets to the Queen's Birthday Party on the Mall - despite it raining for half the day it was an amazing, unforgettable experience from start to finish. I nearly missed out on the prize but for the persistence of a young lady at The Mirror who was determined to get hold of me :)

  • Best win was an overnight stay in a suite at London's Grosvenor Hotel. We got Executive Lounge access, the most amazing suite, dinner, breakfast and tickets to a show!
